Workshop Highlights - Build AI Apps using Google AI Studio & Gemini AI

Harsh Dattani's ~60-minute walkthrough of Google AI Studio during the workshop "Build AI Apps using Google AI Studio & Gemini AI" provides all the essentials you need to get started.


Topics covered:
  • Google AI Studio -browser-based IDE for prototyping with generative models
  • Gemini AI - lets you access the latest generative models from Google
  • API key - prerequisite for building apps with Gemini AI
  • Prompt engineering
  • Prompt Gallery - examples of what's possible with Gemini models
  • Fine tuning - provides a mechanism for curating output when you have a small dataset of input/output examples
  • System Instructions - for developers to manage prompts 
  • idx.dev - cloud-based IDE for building Web, Android apps
Focus of the workshop is on the inner loop of software development

Google AI Studio provides several interfaces for prompts that are designed for different use cases


Google AI Studio is a good starting point for beginners and small-scale projects, while Vertex AI Studio is a more powerful and comprehensive platform for organizations with larger-scale machine learning needs.

The Gemini API “free tier” is offered through the API service with lower rate limits for testing purposes. Google AI Studio usage is completely free in all available countries.

Google AI Studio provides access to the following Models:
  1. Gemini 1.0 Pro
  2. Gemini 1.5 Pro
  3. Gemini 1.5 Pro Experimental 0827
  4. Gemini 1.5 Flash
  5. Gemini 1.5 Flash Experimental 0827
  6. Gemini 1.5 Flash 8B Experimental 0827
  7. Gemma 2 2B
  8. Gemma 2 9B
  9. Gemma 2 27B
Gemma is a family of lightweight, state-of-the-art open models built from the same research and technology used to create the Gemini models. 

Fine tuning adjusts a model weight to perform better on specific tasks by training it with your custom data.

Retrieval Augmented Generation or RAG improves responses (output) by combining the model's output with information pulled from external sources.
